Welcome from the Principal

On behalf of all the children, staff and board I would like to warmly welcome you to the Francis Street

School website. I hope it provides you with a window into life within our school. Our school is located on John Dillon Street in Dublin 8 and it is a school for boys from 2nd to 6th class. We are a Catholic school that is genuinely child centred with an ethos that fosters trust, mutual respect and self-directed learning. Empathy, creativity, leadership and teamwork permeate our school day based on the values of trust, responsibility, kindness and honesty.

​

We believe that learning should be active and creative. We encourage our students to embrace challenges and celebrate success. We have clear values and aim to develop well-rounded independent children, preparing them for future careers by providing positive learning experiences. 

​

We believe in a pedagogy of social justice and embody an empathy based methodology curriculum and believe that children should be empowered to live for a 'common good'. To facilitate this we believe in a holistic curriculum for the well-being of our students within their community.

​

There is a strong community feel in our school with wonderful parents, pupils and educators. We encourage students to be confident and articulate communicators, to think for themselves as global citizens with a developing awareness of the broad social and ecological issues.  We empower our students as changemakers with the capacity to make a positive difference in their school, community and world.

​

If you would like to meet us or see our wonderful school. Please contact the office on 0 1 4531800.

​

I hope you enjoy visiting our website.
